Parents seeking baptism for infants and their children up until the age of seven should be registered members of the parish and are encouraged to begin preparation for this sacrament during pregnancy.
To prepare for Baptism, parents are invited to participate in the sacramental preparation process, as well as faith-filled catechesis that meets with the appropriate needs of the family. Parents will meet with a member of the clergy ( priest or deacon ) and then attend a one night baptism session. Godparents are encouraged to attend. This session may be waived if the couple has attended a baptism session within the last two years.
These sessions are ordinarily held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.

Adults and children who have reached the age of reason (age seven), who are unbaptized or baptized in another Christian faith tradition and seek to embrace the Catholic faith, participate in an initiation process called the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults). Both adults and children are fully initiated into the Catholic Church during this process, celebrating Baptism, if needed, Confirmation, and First Eucharist.
